More gym stuff.

Single strand 1/2 inch webbing, carabiner with gate down, and 7mm cord.

More 7mm, not really tied around the tree, just fed through a loop in the end.

Dangerous? No. Smart? No.

The left leg is a loop, so he could have used a knot instead of adding two points of failure. Is the loop safer? No, if one strand fails, the anchor fails.

Count all the things wrong.

Lots of thought, not much good.

This wasn't working, so they fixed it.

New Year's Day, 54 degrees.

Of course the tiny stopper is vital.

Eight feet up the tree and across the trail.

Fifty feet of rope but they used slings and carabiners.

Why use the big tree when you have a loose rock?

68 degrees brings them out.

Yes, that's a caving rope, used for climbing, running it over a bunch of edges. Now, he had  all this rope as an anchor, and left his climbing rope coiled, sitting next to this rig.

The newest scourge of crags, hammocks.

Can you tie a knot without a carabiner?

At a recent meeting organized by the Excess Fund, there were complaints of hammocks showing up at crags across the country. This one crosses the main trail.

Totally side loaded.
